Insider Advantage FL 13% 3rd place

[MrGoose]

Haha, well if it's just between Paul and Newt at the convention then we will win. We have positioned far more delegates in place than him as he didn't have a campaign since... well now...

 

[mavtek]

So all this is, is us keeping our support, plus a bit more and Santorum soft supporters going to the candidate they think can beat Romney.

 

[Karsten]

Why do we keep getting bounces in the polls for the next state each time we not win a state?

 

[Austin]

That's pretty amazing considering we only got 3.2% in 2008. That's a 4x increase.

 

[thoughtomator]

Because, as Paul said - it's a movement. Movements grow over time and we hit the inflection point on exponential growth about the time of the NH primary. Every person who knows the truth can communicate it to many more.

 

[XTreat]

Complete waste of time. Did you read Rule 10 of the Rules of the Republican Party of Florida?



Not gonna waste my time. I become a delegate and am BOUND to Mittens or the Grinch. No thanks.

What if newt wins and later drops out? We would be free to vote as we please.

 

[r3volution]

Oh god if gingrich wins florida he could actually win this thing...

you obviously have not been paying attention .

Wow, Newt +8 and this is just one day after SC! I told you Newt would be right back on top in FL! Keep in mind also that the SC Insider Advantage poll that came out the day after NH had Paul at 13% in SC, exactly what he got!

Like I said last night, Newt will win in a landslide over Romney in FL, and Romney will drop out soon (hopefully before VA).

Hahaha. Dare to dream. Romney has the money and the organization in place, and he's been waiting since 2008 for his 2nd shot. Romney is NOT going to give this up so easily - he will fight tooth and nail until the bitter end, like Obama and Hillary.

yea romney is tough. he does great out west and will crush the northeast and michigan. lots of delegates. don't underestimate Mitt, keep pressing him

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

only way newt can maybe win nomination is if he wins in a land slide in every state... no way he can do that with romney and/or ron paul going all the way.

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

3rd place with just grass roots? that is pretty darn good. just nail the debate and hope romney sh1ts himself again and we might get 2nd. we are not too far behind romney. although >.<;;; after south carolina, i dont know what to expect from that region of the USA.

FLORIDA PEEPS!!!

NOTE: You must send the Oath either by registered mail, FedEx, or some method that ensures that it physically arrives at RPOF Headquarters between 12 p.m. January 30 and 12 p.m. February 3. You can also drop it off in person but be certain to hand it directly to a staff member who can verify receipt of the document.

Please become a delegate to the GOP National Convention.

Would you or anyone mind explaining this to me please? I know nothing of delegates..

What exactly is this for? I thought the deadline to become a FL delegate had already passed?


Why do you guys want Gingrich to win? I would prefer Romney..

 

[Fredom101]

Honestly, it's so laughable that it's almost better to have Newt rather than Mitt. Neither can win without RP voters.

Question:

What is to stop one from claiming to want to be a delegate for a candidate, and then changing their mind or voting for someone else at a convention, or strategizing poorly on purpose allowing another candidate to benefit in some way, or otherwise messing up to sabotage the process? Like a sleeper agent delegate.

 

[Young Paleocon]

Um I might have missed a post, but did anyone go ahead and look at the specifics of the poll. Paul is winning in the 30-44 age group and gets 44% of the Hispanic vote. Both awesome and odd. My two cents.

 

[unknown]

Gallup now has Gingrich and Romney tied v. Obama both are 48 and Obama is 50. I never would have expected that, but it happened.

Do you have the poll handy, I looked for it but couldnt find it.

RCP average as of 1/16/12 has Obama leading by 11 points...

This depends on what you mean. Lets say Romney won Florida and you are a delegate. You are forced to vote for him on the first 3 votes durring the convention(If there is a brokered convention). After that you can vote for whoever you want. You can't change your vote or what have you durring these first 3 votes if you are a Florida delegate. If you mean after those three votes, then nothing is stoping someone from saying they will vote for one person, then change their vote when the time comes.

Hopefully that number will sustain even after the media blackout of Ron Paul and the pump up of the establishment candidate that will assuredly occur just prior to Fl voting.

This is my biggest concern. Not just the blackout but the blatant bias, spin and disrespect.

I dont know what a delegate does but as a RP guy, wouldnt it be a good thing if you were a delegate even if you were "bound" to them. Wink wink.
